History
editThe history of library services dates back to February. 3rd 1976, when the state was created from the Old Western region. The Headquarters of Ogun State library services was commissioned on 27 July 1990. The complex was christened Simeon Adebo Library, in recognition of contributions of the former Head of Ogun State civil service, in person of Chief late Simeon Adebo.[2][3] The library is located within the Headquarters of Ogun State library Board at Abeokuta. It has seating capacity of 300, with over 40,000 volumes of books. Although, the library was commissioned in July 1990,but nevertheless it was not opened to the general public until 1992.
